[wss] QoP liaison statement

Title: QoP liaison statement

Colleagues - The WSS QoP Discussion Group has made significant progress since it was established as agreed at the first WSS Face-to-Face meeting.  The results of its work can be found at:-

http://www.entrust.com/resources/pdf/wssqopv09.pdf

There is a significant body of opinion that the topic of QoP for Web-services is an important, and even urgent, one.  The paper demonstrates that the problem is sufficiently well understood that a sub-committee of WSS could tackle it without impacting the schedule that has been established for the SOAP Message Protection specification.

We therefore request that the WSS TC consider forming a sub-committee to address this work, and include an agenda item in its meeting of 3rd Dec to discuss this request.
